Read the text “Nurse Nicky Nears her Peak of Fitness” by Lynda Murdin. Be ready to answer the questions below.
Nurse Nicky Nears Her Peak of Fitness
There are different ways of training to climb Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain.
Nurse Nicky Bennen-Rees has been walking across London every day from her flat to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Then, once her night-shift nursing sick children is over, she runs the five and half miles back home. Every weekend for the past two months she has been jogging in the park and playing her favourite sport, tennis. “I’ve even changed my diet”, she explained. “Now it’s steak, eggs and as much fresh fruit as I can eat”.
Climb for money. What’s it all for? Nicky is taking part in a sponsored climb at the beginning of September to raise money for an extension to the children’s ward at her hospital. She and nine others (including myself) will spend five days climbing up and down Kilimanjaro’s 19 340 feet. This is a final attempt to raise the £250.000 they need to build accommodation for the families of children desperately ill in hospital They have been trying to raise the money for five years and have so far collected nearly £200.000.
Separated. Nurse Nicky knows just how valuable it can he for children to have their parents near at such times. She has seen how parents of sick children are separated from the rest of their families, and then have to sleep on waiting-room floors.
All the members of the climb have something in common. They have all had major surgery at some time in their lives, but there are no doubts about their fitness. They have all been training under Terry Alien, a football coach.
Donations.Such a trip needs a lot of organization and funding, and help has come from many quarters. Special winter clothing will be needed on the snow-covered summit, and local shops have provided this, and also climbing boots, sleeping bags, and water bottles. The Dutch air-line KLM has donated five of the air tickets to Tanzania free of charge.
Since this newspaper announced the climb two weeks ago, readers have sent in scores of coupons like the one below. But more support is needed. Now is your chance to sponsor a worthy cause, so fill the coupon in now.
